1 Claim.

The present invention relates generally to a package and more particularly to a package wherein various articles of difierent kinds and sorts may be packed in an attractive and pleasing manner for the purpose of enhancing the sale of the articles.

An object of the present invention is to provide a package, consisting of a box and a single insert or partition member, wherein the insert or partition member is so constructed and arranged within the box as to provide articles receiving spaces orpockets between the partition and the parallel walls of the box as well as a space or pocket in the length of the partition member for receiving an article.

Another object of the invention is to provide a single partition member for a package, which member is so constructed as to provide article receiving spaces or pockets in its length.

Another object of the invention is'to provide a package comprising a box and a single separator or partition member, wherein the separator or partition member is so constructed and arranged within the box as to divide it centrally and because of the width of the separator or partition member, said member is capable of formation in such manner as to receive articles within the dimensions of its width.

The above, other and further objects of the.

invention will be apparent from the following description, accompanying drawing and appended claim.

The form of package chosen to exemplify the present invention is one in which wrapping material is assembled in an attractive and pleasing manner for sale. It is to be understood, however, that the invention is not limited to the exact materials packed and arranged in the manner illustrated in the drawing as the drawing is illustrative only, of one embodiment of the invention.

The accompanying drawing illustrates the following:

Figure 1 is a top plan view of a box, embodying the present invention, with the same filled with two rolls of wrapping paper and two bolts of Wrapping ribbon, and shown with the top of the box or package removed to expose the contents thereof to view.

Figure 2 is a sectional view taken in the of line II-II of Figure 1.

Figure 3 is a transverse sectional view taken in the plane of line IIIIII of Figure 1.

Figure 4 is a transverse sectional view taken in the plane of line IV-IV of Figure 1.

plane Figure 5 is a transverse sectional .viewtaken in the plane of line V-V of Figure 1.

The drawing will now be explained.

The box chosen toexemplify the presentinvention'is illustrated as a long narrow box Aand having in it a partition memberor insert, designated generally at B.

The box A is illustrated as containing two rolls 1 and 2 of wrapping paper, such as the decorative wrapping paper utilized in wrapping gifts and the like. r

The partition member or insert B is illustrated as consisting of a flat strip of cardboard possessing greater width than thickness, and scored at 3 at various points in its length so that by bending certain portions of the strip crests 4 and troughs 5 I may be formed in the length of the strip B. The formation of the partition strip or insert B in the manner described, and the provision of the crests 4 and the troughs 5 provides a series of spaces or pockets designated 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10. These spaces or pockets may be utilized for reception of articles to be packed in the box A. For instance, the pockets orlspaces 7 and 9 which are available from the top side of the strip B, may contain bolts 11 of wrapping ribbon or the like for tying packages wrapped in the paper of the rolls 1 and 2. The pocket 8 is available from the bottom side of the partition strip B and may contain an envelope 12 in which may be inserted'stickers or pasters, such, for instance, as Christmas seals or the like, which may be applied to the packages wrapped with the paper in the rolls 1 and 2 and tied with the ribbon or tape in the bolts 11.

The bolts 11 are illustrated as consisting of strips of paper 13 with the tying or binding ribbon 14 wound with the paper into bolt form. The provision of the paper 13 maintains the tying ribbons or tape 14 in clean condition and, in the case such ribbons or tying materials are of paper, then the presence of the paper 13 prevents accidental tearing of the tape '14. The bolts 11 are formed into substantial loop shape with the midportions fastened by straps. 15, of adhesive paper or similar or suitable material.

The rolls 1 and. 2 of the wrapping paper are wound with or without hollow cylindrical cores 16, indicated in dotted lines in Fig. 1.

, The spaces or pockets 6 and 10 are shown as empty, although, of course, it is to be understood that these may be filled with articles if so desired.

Whileit is not necessary to do so, there has been shown in thedrawing, a U-shaped stirrup 16 secured to the underside of the middle crest 4, for

bearing against the envelope 12 to prevent this envelope from shifting its. position in the filled box. Whether or not such stirrup is necessary may be determined by the amount of space available and also on the desires of the packer of the box.

The insert or partition member B is separate from the box A and when it is desired to fill the box A the strip isbent to provide substantially the outline shown in Fig. 2 and disposed midway of the width of the box, whereby there are provided spaces or pockets on each side of the partition, member as well as article receiving spaces "or pockets in the length of the member, itself. This arrangement enables packaging of articles of different kinds and sizes, whereby articles adapted for similar uses may be packaged in a single box or container.

The partition member B is of substantial width; that is to say, it is much wider than its thickness so as to provide sufiicient width, when inserted in a box, to separate the two main article spaces by an appreciable distance and at the same time of such width that other, and smaller, article space or spaces may be formed in it. The member B is inserted flatwise in a box.

rolled articles in spaced relation to each other,

and other articles positioned between them, said package including an elongated box and a single partition'member of a single piece of material disposed centrally and lengthwise of the box between twoopposite side walls thereof and extending between the end walls of said box, said partition member being zig-zag in side elevation to provide a plurality of long pockets in its length adapted to receive articles and to provide a plurality of elongated upstanding portions adapted to cooperate with the side walls of the box to provide means to retain a pair of elongated rolls of paper or the like in spaced relation to each other.
